Failed engine starter acts and sounds like a dead battery.

When you first try to start the car. When starting the engine you will hear a single click similar like a weak battery would sound. You could do a test little test to see if it is your battery that’s not letting you to start or you have broken starter. Turn on your headlights and check if they look dimmer than usual.
